Place ceramic tiles onto the adhesive layer and press firmly.
-
Tiles should be installed before the adhesive surface begins to dry.
4. Grouting Application
-
Wall tile applications: Grouting can be performed after approximately 8 hours.
-
Floor tile applications: Grouting can be performed after approximately 24 hours.
Important Application Considerations
-
Do not apply in freezing conditions or when there is a risk of frost.
-
Avoid application under direct sunlight.
